Re: [avr-gcc-list] When does the Stack Frame Pointer (Y) get setup?

The *stack pointer* is initialized in .init2 but the *frame pointer*
is not.  Rather, the frame pointer is set up in the prologue for each
function that needs it (i.e. has local storage or takes the address of
one or more parameters).  As I pointed out in an earlier reply, the
"naked" attribute tells the compiler to omit the function prologue and
epilogue which, apparently, also causes the frame pointer setup to be
omitted as well.

I demonstrated how to work around the issue in my second reply.  It
would be useful to add a caveat to the documentation about using local
variables in naked functions.
